Meanwhile on 20 September, MSC Austria Director Frederik Wexel will explain the importance of various Mediterranean Gateway ports in linking continental Europe with Asia and other parts of the world. He will be joined by a representative from Trieste Marine Terminal, which is gaining prominence among shippers thanks to recent investments and improving rail connections.

JOC has tagged 2017 a year of disruption following unprecedented consolidation in the shipping sector and poses the question: “how should shippers strategically and tactically approach container transportation in the current, rapidly evolving environment?”

Senior managers from MSC are looking forward to discussing the answers to this and many other questions with customers at the event.
